Hello :)

Although I cannot attend the track day (I'll be working at the very fuel station you guys will be meeting at), would someone be willing to pick up a few interior parts for me?

Will pay for your troubles, you can even drop them off on your way back (Shell servo I work at)

Frink: If you really want those keyrings, i can get you a complete set for free :geek:

Cheers!

Paul

I will pay if someone does pick them up for me ($50), which i think is half a tank these days ><

CJ, if you are picking up your jacket from Nick or Anna tomorrow (one or the other is bringing them!) can you please grab mine too? Then I can get it from you at some stage.... :cheers:

No probs, If I get mine will get yours, need to remember lol :)

Awesome day! anyone who didn't come along really missed out. all the noob's did really well. hope you all got home without any dramas. i had to shoot off early as i didn't want to get stuck on the hwy in the dark trying to repair my car. it made it home though, thank god. had a huge split in one of my rubber hoses and was leaking boost really badly. but apart from that, was pleased with how i went. reckon i would've been top 5 or 6 outright with my little stock powered GTS-t!

took some of you for a ride too, i hope you all enjoyed it :laugh: i think im going to start going to more "speed off the streets" days on a regular basis....

Definately keen on doing another one, but probably wouldn't be a good idea until I get my cooling issues sorted out, was getting up to 105-108 oil temp on my guage after a few quick laps. Looking at getting that sorted soon.

nothing wrong with that mate. they'll always get hot to that temp when driving hard. its when it gets up around 120 degrees and above that you need to start worrying. my temp was sitting on about 110 all day and didn't budge....

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
